Photographer's Note

A capture of Fatima, one of the daughters of Necip Usta , the potterer , painting the potteries in her living room, produced by her father Necip Usta (master Necip).
Necip Usta is a master of very thin potteries and calls himself "the last Hittite" . Hittites where been one of the very important ancient civilisations of Anatolia (around 1200-1900 BC) and created very nice and colorfull potteries.
Necip Usta produces very nice objects still the same form and decoration as Hittites (or Greeks of Ionıa) did some 4000 yeras ago. All his daughters (5), wife, one son are working in this small atelier which is their house at the same time.

Hello Mesut,
This is colourful and highly interesting. It doesn't look to me like the perfect studio, but as long as she's comfortable and the light is good it should be alright. I enjoy watching her painting the pot and I enjoy all the things spread out all over the floor. She helped you to fill the composition well.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Mesut - I find this shot so interesting, it opens a little window into the life of this lady and is well complimented by your note. I love the fact that all the tools of her trade are scattered about the room. A super DL shot. Warm regards Rosemary
